Elon Musk, the richest person in the world, on Tuesday tweeted that he bought the English football club Manchester United PLC, without offering any details. Musk has a history of being unconventional and posting rude tweets. It is not clear whether he plans to pursue an agreement to acquire Manchester United. Only four months after announcing he would buy Twitter (Nyse: TWTR), Musk is now trying to get out of the $ 44 billion agreement to buy a social media company, which took him to court.
Manchester United is one of the most famous names in world football but is currently in a crisis on the field in the middle of an angry call from fans for the club owner today, the American Glazer family, to withdraw. “I bought Manchester United UR (SIC) welcome,” Musk said in a tweet. The northern -based team has more than 32 million followers on its main Twitter account and Musk’s tweet has collected nearly 320,000 ‘like’ on the platform within three hours.
Musk’s post is a further comment from the previous tweet: “For more details, I support the left part of the Republican party and the right part of the Democratic Party!” Half left and right is the position of the football lineup. Some United Fans who were not satisfied before urged Musk to consider buying a club rather than Twitter. In the initial reaction on Tuesday, some users mocked to compare Musk’s latest tweet by running on Twitter, or it seems that it considers it nothing more than a joke, while the others said that he hoped it was true.
A user with a ‘Davidq1987′ grip said, “If Elon saves us from Glazers, I bought Tesla (Nasdaq: Tsla) to respect him!” Crk_nft_’ Tweeted: “Like buying, buying? Or in the same way you buy Twitter? To be honest, however male fans might be happy.”
NIGHTMARE
Comments by Musk, the Chief Executive of the Tesla Electric Car, came as United, the England champion recorded 20 times, experiencing the opening of a nightmare on the field until the 2022-2023 season.
One of the most famous and most supported teams in the world, United is rooted in the bottom of the English Premier League after losing their first two matches, after failing during the summer to rebuild the squad that is adequate carried out relatively bad last season.

Stocks have recovered in the past month, getting 16% to close at $ 12.78 on Tuesday. Last week, the submission revealed that Musk had sold Tesla shares worth $ 6.9 billion, which he said could be used to finance a potential Twitter agreement if he lost a legal battle with a social media platform.

In this year’s annual ranking, Forbes assessed Manchester United, with a very large global fanbase, the third most valuable soccer club in the world, worth $ 4.6 billion, behind only Spanish giants Real Madrid and Barcelona.
The British newspaper The Daily Mirror reported last year that Glazers, who had faced fans’ opposition to their services since acquired the club in 2005 at a price of 790 million pounds ($ 957 million), ready to sell but only if they were offered more than 4 billion pounds. Dissatisfaction among fans in Glazers who were felt lacking ambitions to bring top players intensified after the club finished sixth in the English Premier League last season – while the Manchester City crosstown rival won the second successive title. Musk has a history of unconscious actions and comments, making it sometimes difficult to know when he is joking.
“Next I bought Coca -Cola (Nyse: Ko) to re -enter cocaine,” Tweet Musk on April 27, two days after the Twitter council received an unkbery offer – announced on his Twitter feed – to buy a company. Tweet Musk about the potential for acquisitions has landed in hot water with U.S. Regulators. in the past.
In 2018, he tweeted that there was a “secured fund” for an $ 72 billion agreement to take a private tesla, but did not move forward with an offer. Musk and Tesla each paid $ 20 million in Civil Fines – and Musk resigned as Chair of Tesla – to complete the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as claimed that Musk deceived investors. SEC does not immediately respond to requests to comment on Musk’s tweet about acquiring other companies registered in the US outside of ordinary working hours.
Musk’s ambitions range from colonizing Mars to creating a new sustainable energy economy, and in the process he has built the most valuable car company in the world, Tesla electric vehicle makers, Spacex rocket companies, and many small companies. One of them is a tunnel maker named The Boring Company.
